I like the ones at DisneyWorld (see Karla's list). OK, Karla...what's your strange way of riding them?
lol the first time I always keep my eyes closed (even though I know it is "scarier feeling with them closed" )
the next time I open them a little
by the 3rd of 4th time I may keep them open the whole time
well except for the ones with a really really huge drop I never open my eyes during that part
Also where in the row you sit will give you a difference "riding experience"
lol when we took Rance & Sweden for their first ride on the Dueling Dragons
Hubby matched us right to the front row line
and failed to mention this to them until it was almost our turn
When my kids were younger we went to Cedar Point in Sandusky Ohio............Now there were some great roller coasters.The Magnum The Mean Streak and I think at the time about 8 more.
The Magnum at the time had been in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the tallest.

LOL.. I've never heard of "The Magnum" roller coaster, not a bad name though! I can imagine having life-sized figures of Clint Eastwood as Harry Callahan (Dirty Harry) at the entrance, with his Smith & Wesson model 29, in the .44 magnum caliber, with sounds of him and his witty lines from his Dirty Harry movies, to dare those who want to ride the roller coaster, like "You gotta ask yourself one question, do I feel lucky? Well do ya... punk?", or "Go ahead.. make my day!", or the one from The Dead Pool, which will work very well to invite riders. It was in the scene where he as having dinner at a Chinese restaurant, and robbers hold up the place, and in all the commotion, you'll hear Eastwood's voice "You forgot your fortune cookie", the robber turns to Harry and yells, "What?!!!", Harry breaks the fortune cookie, takes out the little piece of paper, and reads it in his cool and calm voice, and a grin on his face: "You're shi* out of luck...", the robber raises his gun, and Harry settles the issue with his his .44 magnum.
We(husband, son and I ) went to Busch Gardens a couple of years ago and tried to do every rollercoaster in the park....I had to give up half way thru.
Hubby wanted to give up but then son (Army) made a comment about the Marines(hubby) not being able to handle it.....the war was on!!!
I sat back and watched them both. They did do them all!
For me, It would be the 'Mamba' @ Worlds of Fun, Kansas City, Mo...the drop made me say all sorts of bad things
And for a wooden coaster....The Texas Giant, Six Flags, Arlington
